Abstract
Emission factors with increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) originating from various human activities are one of the causes of global climate change. The mangrove forest is a type of plant that has a great ability to absorb carbon in the atmosphere and store it in biomass through photosynthesis. Merauke Regency has 20 separate parts based on regional administration, but primary Mangrove forests are only found in ten regions (district). The results of research carried out using geographic information systems (GIS) in processing primary Mangrove forest data based on 2016 land cover map data in Merauke district, the area of primary mangrove forest reaches 184.402 ha, which is spread in various regions. With carbon deposits reaching 21 536 333 t ha-1-Carbon and Emission carbon dioxide reach 409 758.04 t ha-1.
Highlights
IntroductionThe land cover map is a process of data processing by utilizing satellite imagery in performing data calcifications so as to produce data on land cover, which consists of various types, including primary forest cover [2]
Emission factors originating from human activities are one of the biggest contributors to carbon dioxide emissions that cause global warming
Merauke Regency is one of the government areas in the province of Papua, with coordinates and latitude-longitude, -8.499112, 140.404984 / ° 29' 56.8032'' S, 140° 24' 17.9424'' E, with an area of 44 037 km2 and the area of primary Mangrove forests based on land cover maps reaching 184 402 ha [1]
Summary
The land cover map is a process of data processing by utilizing satellite imagery in performing data calcifications so as to produce data on land cover, which consists of various types, including primary forest cover [2]. Data processing satellite images that produce land cover maps are capable of using geographic information systems because the results obtained are faster, the time efficiency is more optimal, the economic value is lower, and the scope is wider [2]. Carbon deposits can be seen from the results of land use studies using remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) [3]. GIS is a computerbased system capable of collecting storing, analyzing, and presenting data in the form of information in spatial form. GIS is able to be applied in analyzing the level of increase in emissions in industrial areas [4]
